Quick start ...

What consumers say about it...

Electronique Service

This is the first time that I have taken the trouble to comment on a product. In the store, we are lucky to be able to try a lot of products. Cabasse, Bose, Loewe, Samsung, and so on ... Clearly, when you receive the MTX iT1air package, you are sure that there are two in the box because it is so heavy! I open the package, I find out. 10Kg super well packed, the dock is all in brushed aluminum (which ultimately avoids micro scratches), the quality is impressive, nothing to do with the usual plastic devices. Even the remote is made of aluminum (it's been five years since I saw this!). Only six buttons, it's simple and intuitive (no need to read the documentation). Impatient, I dock my iPhone and push a little! It works right away, it's impressive sound quality (the bass is incredibly deep) and simplicity. I continue and I push the system to block, all the customers of the shop turn around and come to see me. What is that ? This is without a doubt the best dock available today :). But what an effect! And it takes some to impress us… To discover quickly. Cédric, Pulsat store in Thillot (88);)

Wonder

No more pandas and other asthmatic pigs. In the cupboard the exorbitant baskets of where nothing comes out but or nothing does not fit either.
Discarded the columns of sound which are to sound what William Saurin brought to French gastronomy, even if they were stamped with the name of more or less famous musicians making them ultimately better, oh no, in fact just more expensive ....
In oblivion, objects of desire with curves so design that finally one comes to wonder if their first use would not be rather libertine as their musical performances border on mediocrity. Here is finally a SOUNDBAR
Full grain brushed aluminum is beautiful, it is design, it naturally takes its place on a Louis XV chest of drawers or on an Ikea piece of furniture.
It works very simply, we turn on and go, no need for a diploma in electronics to find out how to make these settings
And the height of the paradox is that it responds perfectly to the function for which it was designed
The sound is clear, powerful, detailed, there's real sub.
Now the hardest part is going to be selling your old, obsolete and gigantic installation because with this sound bar you won't need it anymore.

Absolute fan of Bose sound for years, I was convinced by Cédric (from the Pulsat store in Thillot, author of the first post) to try this MT1.
This dock has it all. I do not dwell on the connections, the Airplay is sufficient.
The design is sober, the use simple and the sound .... The sound...
FUCK IT SEND!
I listen to loud music that makes noise and I admit, the sound is clear, balanced, and rich in bass (which can be adjusted unlike my ex-Sounddock 10 from the aforementioned brand)
A comparative listening (in Airplay for one and in bluetooth for the other) ended up convincing me definitively, At equivalent power, the MT is much better.
I resell my Bose, if you want it, don't hesitate =)

What love at first sight! MTX client in the 90s, I had kept a good feeling with these American big sound barjos. My Zeppelin having given up the ghost one evening a little watered, I thought that this heavy category speaker should do the trick. I was far from the mark. This dock impresses me from all sides ... It is really heavy, ultra stable, it does not vibrate, it is more serious than a big speaker, it is super beautiful, super quality, and it sounds like a dream. Thoroughly it does not even saturate. He gives the impression of never being limited, there is always reserve. I really like the remote control, it is made like the speaker. Everything is the same, materials, touches ...
Good, on the other hand, at first, you need the manual in your hands to understand the keys ... after a week it came back, but hey ... This is the only weak point for me. The rest is 100 times better than my old Zeppelin. Still on top after 25 years, well done.

Now owner of 2 iT1air, really very impressive product. Sober but effective design, and despite its size it fits in any place without denoting! In addition to that the sound is tip top, I used one for an evening with 50 people, it did its job perfectly. Its clear, very powerful.
The operation is relatively simple and above all an Air Play mode which allows remote use.
Only downside, it is unfortunately difficult to take it everywhere with you :)

The package has arrived. I can't wait to go home and discover the contents of this heavy box. And finally… unboxing. It is a brushed aluminum ingot, wonderfully understated and exemplary finish. The iT1air flies over the devices of the famous who strut their proud and vulgar shiny plastic. The construction of the iT1air is really solid, it inspires confidence. Plugging in, 10 seconds to plug in and off you go ... I was expecting a lot, and I was afraid to hope too much ... It's amazing: the sound is fine, detailed, generous, ample and full. The relation between the dimensions of the machine and what it offers is crazy.
The object is adopted. Don’t hesitate, this is awesome. WELL DONE !
